SDL_image doesn't load TGA on Win/Mac

SDL Development

Hi
it works on Linux but not on Win/Mac. Even the vc download has no description on how to compile and I only find a header.
Thanks for help

That’s an interesting surprise given that Targa is one of the
simplest graphic formats out there. It doesn’t require a library,
and the only time it gets even a little complex is when you encounter
RLE “compression”.

You need to rearrange the order of the libraries:
-lpng -ljpeg -lz

That’s the runtime error I get:

LoadGLTex(): Error loading texture!

Failed loading libpng15-15.dll: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

Texture failed to load

Thanks
